The Space
Seagrapes Cabana is a purpose built one bedroom private building on our property by the beach. Guests also have full use of our beach.
Seagrapes Cabana is Belize, Gold Standard Certified, and is a private cabana located on the beach, ideally suited as a base to explore the jungle, go diving, visit Mayan caves & temple ruins, or just chill by the sea There is a kitchen/ Lounge space with a gas cooker/oven, upright fridge freezer, and double sink, with fitted cupboards in the kitchen area. There is a small sofa in the living area w
hich also converts to a small bed. The bedroom has a double bed and a small air-condition unit. The cabana also benefits from ceiling fans and has wifi. The french doors lead onto a verandah where you can sit and enjoy watching all the birds that stop by our yard, with the beach and sea just a few yards away from your front door. Guest Access
Guests have complete privacy in the cabana which is self contained and away from our main building. As well as the verandah, there is also a lawn space immediately outside that guests are welcome to use. including hammocks, and chairs. Interaction with Guests
When you arrive, we will meet with you and introduce you to the Cabana and our property. We'll let you have some prepared information as well as update you on any "breaking news" that may be relevant to your stay. We have our house on site so normally we are easy to get hold of for information or assistance where necessary. The Neighborhood
We are located at Sittee Point, which is just South of Hopkins Village. We are positioned roughly in the middle of the sandy bay that houses an an area in Sittee Point known as Phase 2, and us known as Phase 4. You are free to walk the full length of the beach in any direction and enjoy the beautiful Caribbean Sea. At the back of our property there are mangroves along a canal that leads to the sea in one direction, and Sittee River and the Marina, The Curve Bar & Restaurant in the other direction. The canal is not navigable currently due to the very healthy abundance of mangroves. We are about a mile and a half from the resort area of Hopkins with it's bars and restaurants and gym, and about 3 miles from Hopkins Village with shopping and an ATM. You can start your fishing trip from the Marina or you can meet your dive boat there if that's what you have arranged, otherwise you can start your diving from the resorts on the beach side. There are dive operators and Stand Up Paddling in the resort. Getting Around
There is private parking on the property for our guests. There is no public transport in the immediate area so if you want to be able to just get up and go whenever you want, you should consider car rental. We prefer to ride bicycles to the village rather than take our car. If this sounds appealing to you, we can help you arrange bicycle rental when you arrive
Other Things to Note
There is no public transport in the immediate area so if you want to be able to just get up and go whenever you want, you should consider car rental. If you want a more quiet stay, then you can book any tours you need and be picked up or walk to the Marina to join one of their tours etc. If you do rent a car, you should note that Belize is a developing country and once you leave the main highways the roads can be severely potholed at some times Of the year. It's never stopped us driving, but we just have to remember that some roads can really slow journey times down if they are in bad repair.

Belmopan is Belize's planned capital, a modern oasis nestled inland. Built after Hurricane Hattie devastated Belize City, it's home to government buildings, embassies, and a growing business sector. While quieter than the coast, Belmopan offers a unique blend of urban convenience and proximity to Belize's natural wonders.
When travelling to Belmopan from the South of the country, you’ll navigate this roundabout as you enter the city. This is the junction at Constitution Drive and the Hummingbird Highway. Turn right and you go into Belmopan, but if you're heading west or need a faster route to the north, then carry on straight over.
The main road in Hopkins Village is an interesting experience. It's marked and signposted as a one way, but you'll find that all traffic utilizes it as a regular 2-way street.
If you run out of reading material. pay a visit to to Miss Bertie's in the village.

As you enter Hopkins Village, if you go straight across the junction you can hang out on the dock or have local food and drink on the beach right alongside.

Went on a tour today to Davis Falls. It's an adventure getting there and the waterfalls and pools are the prize and rewards.
A great day excursion!

If you need to extend your visa or complete any other official business during your stay with us, you will likely visit the town of Dangriga. Dangriga is the nearest town with a bank and post office and is also the cultural capital of the Garinagu people.
